product life testing, Quality test and Drop test and also required reportsdocumentation.
3. Project Title: Remote Notification System
Duration: 6 Months
Role: Software Engineer
Client: Thermo-fisher Scientific
Description:
Remote Notification System (RNS) is attached to a Freezer unit that stores
various bio-chemical samples. RNS monitors health of the freezer. Whenever an
abnormal situation arises in the freezer, freezer generates an alarm
corresponding to the fault condition, which is captured by RNS. Remote
Notification Systems notifies the service personnel, supervisor and the
managers with the Alarms generated at the Freezer in a priority basis.
Notification is sent through an SMS and Email. RNS hardware consists of
MSP430FG4619, GSM (Q2686)/CDMA (Q26EL) sierra wireless Modules.
Individual Contribution:
Firmware development for entire LCRNS functionality.
4. Project Title: Data Processing and Communication Interface Board
Duration: 6 Months
Role: Software Engineer
Client: AMP
Description:
Data Processing and Communication Interface (DPCI) Board is intended to be
used in Chemistry Analyzer. The main purpose of the board is to display and
print various test results measured according to the test selected on the screen using
touch sensitivity or by mouse or by keyboard. This DPCI Board (AT91SAM9263)
will be connected to a Core board for which various sensors and actuators were
interfaced. DPCI Board has various interfaces like USB Host, USB Device, and
RS232. DPCI Board will also support 7" Graphics LCD with touch screen, Mouse,
Keyboard, external printer, thermal printer. Also it will support various storage
devices like NAND Flash, SD/MMC Card and SDRAM for program execution.
WinCE operating system will be ported on to the board for developing application
software to perform various operations like display, storage of test results and to
access printers, mouse and keyboard.

5. Project Title: USB ECG Monitor
Duration: 4 Months
Role: Software Engineer
Client: Infotech Enterprises
Description:
Main aim of the project is to cut down the cost for ECG Monitoring. ECG
machines were very costly and it takes time to go to diagnostic center and get the
4. ECG Reports. So this device comes handy to doctors to diagnose their patients.
Now-a-days each and every doctor has a PC at his office. So simply connect a pen
drive type ECG Monitoring device to PC and install a GUI to monitor the ECG of
the patient. For this no external power is required, ECG Board will directly
operate from the USB voltage from PC. ECG front end circuit feeds the analog
data to on chip ADCs of the MSP430F149 and after processing the data, it is sent to
the UART of the MSP430, where a serial to USB Converter IC (TUSB3410) is
used to transfer the data to PC. On PC side GUI software plots the ECG waveform.
Individual Contribution:
Firmware development for entire USB Based ECG Module,
Testing the functionality of the product.
6. Project Title: Remote Patient Monitoring System
Duration: 8 Months
Role: Software Engineer
Client: Infotech Enterprises
Description:
The Project mainly meant to monitor the vital a parameters of any individual. The
Parameters monitored includes Temperature, ECG (Electrocardiograph), Heart Rate,
percentage of SpO2 (Oxygen content in blood) and Blood Pressure (BP). These Parameters
are monitored and displayed on Graphical LCD by the unit named “Infotech Cardio”
and transmitted via ZigBee network link to a distant PC. At the distant PC these
parameters (ECG Waveform, SpO2 Waveform, BP Values, Temperature, and Heart Rate)
were displayed using GUI software developed by Infotech. Another Feature Included
with Infotech Cardio is sending SMS to a particular Mobile, when the Heart Rate of the
individual crosses certain fixed limits. Also at any point of time, doctor can request for
vital parameters to his mobile by sending SMS to the Infotech Cardio, where a GSM
Modem is connected to the PIC Micro-Controller.
Individual Contribution:
Firmware development to measure and display parameter like BP,SpO2,
Temperature, Heart Rate and ECG.
Testing the application for functionality. Documentation as per ISO-13485.
Individual Contribution:
Firmware development and Partial Hardware for 8051 trainer kit.
Testing the Entire functionality.
